Better evaluation of existing health programmes, appropriate policy making against emerging threats, and reducing inequalities in Iran rely on a comprehensive national subnational breakdown the burden diseases, injuries, risk factors.In this systematic analysis, we present estimates disease using Global Burden Disease Study 2019. We report trends demographics, all-cause cause-specific mortality, as well years life lost (YLLs), lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life-years...
Abstract Background Oral disorders are still a major global public health challenge, considering their perpetuating and chronic nature. Currently, there is no direct index to measure the quality of care on population scale. Hence, we aim propose new for oral worldwide. Methods We generated our database using data from Global Burden Disease (GBD) study 2017. Among different variables such as prevalence, incidence, years lived with disability, disability-adjusted life years, utilised principal...
Abstract Background Hematologic malignancies (HMs) are a heterogeneous group of cancers that comprise diverse subgroups neoplasms. So far, despite the major epidemiologic concerns about quality care, limited data available for patients with HMs. Thus, we created novel measure—Quality Care Index (QCI)—to appraise care in different populations. Methods The Global Burden Disease from 1990 to 2017 applied our study. We performed principal component analysis on several secondary indices primary...
Primary brain and other central nervous system (CNS) cancers cause major burdens. In this study, we introduced a measure named the Quality of Care Index (QCI), which indirectly evaluates quality care given to patients with group cancers. Here aimed compare different geographic socioeconomic patterns CNS cancer according novel introduced. regard, acquired age-standardized primary epidemiologic measures were from Global Burden Disease (GBD) study 1990-2017. The combined make four secondary...
Endocarditis accounts for significant morbidity and mortality. Timely diagnosis prompt treatment are of paramount importance optimal patient outcome. However, only few studies have assessed quality care (QoC) in endocarditis. We aimed to describe QoC changes epidemiological features endocarditis from 1990 2019.Using primary indices mortality, incidence, years life lost, lived with disability, disability-adjusted year, obtained the Global Burden Disease Study 2019, we calculated four...
Abstract Background Thyroid cancer (TC) is the most prevalent malignancy of endocrine system. Over past decades, TC incidence rates have been increasing. quality care (QOC) has yet to be well understood. We aimed assess and its disparities. Methods retrieved primary epidemiologic indices from Global Burden Disease (GBD) 1990–2017 database. calculated four secondary mortality ratio, disability‐adjusted life years (DALYs) prevalence lost (YLLs) lived with disability (YLD) ratio summarized them...
Abstract Introduction COVID-19 clinical course, effective therapeutic regimen, and poor prognosis risk factors in pediatric cases are still under investigation no approved vaccinehas been introduced for them. Methods This cross-sectional study evaluated different aspect of infection hospitalized positive children (≺18 years oldwith laboratory confirmed infection, using the national registry all admitted from February 19 until November 13,2020, Iran. Results We 6610 children. Fifty-four...
The huge burden of breast cancer (BC) necessitates the profound and accurate knowledge most recent epidemiology quality care provided. We aimed to evaluate BC examine effects socioeconomic development healthcare expenditure on disparities in care.
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most burdensome cancers worldwide. Despite advancements in diagnostic and treatment modalities, developing countries are still dealing with increasing burdens existing disparities. This study provides estimates BC burden associated risk factors Iran at national subnational levels over 30 years (1990-2019).Data on for were retrieved from Global Burden Disease (GBD) 1990 to 2019. GBD estimation methods applied explore incidence, prevalence, deaths,...
As the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia is increasing in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), detailed evidence urgently needed to guide response health systems this epidemic. This study sought quantify unmet need for care among adults 35 LMICs.We pooled individual-level data from 129,040 respondents aged 15 years older nationally representative surveys conducted between 2009 2018. Hypercholesterolemia was quantified using cascade analyses sample by region, country income group,...
Abstract Aims By 2030, we seek to reduce premature deaths from non-communicable diseases, including ischaemic heart disease (IHD), by one-third reach the sustainable development goal (SDG) target 3.4. We aimed investigate quality of care IHD across countries, genders, age groups, and time using Global Burden Diseases Study (GBD) 2017 estimates. Methods results did a principal component analysis on mortality incidence ratio, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) prevalence years life lost...
Breast cancer (BC), as the top neoplasm in prevalence and mortality females, imposes a heavy burden on health systems. Evaluation of quality care management patients with BC its responsible risk factors was aim this study.We retrieved epidemiologic data from Global Burden Disease (GBD) 1990-2019 database. Epidemiology were explored besides Quality Care Index (QCI) introduced before, to assess provided for various scales. Provided investigated by their impact years life lost lived disability...
Abstract Background and objective Cervical cancer is the most preventable ovarian lethal gynecological cancer. However, in world, there are disparities health care performances resulting differences burden of these cancers. The this study was to compare health-system quality inequities for cancers using Quality Care Index (QCI). Material methods 1990–2019 data Global Burden Disease (GBD) analyzed extract rates incidence, prevalence, mortality, Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), Lost...
